Each Unit consists of one (1) common share ("Share") in the capital of the Company and one (1) Share purchase warrant ("Warrant"), whereby each Warrant entitles the warrant holder to acquire one (1) additional Share at a price of $0.20 until October 26, 2025, being the date that is twenty-four (24) months from the date of issuance.

The net proceeds of the Private Placement will be used primarily to fund the Company's projects.

("Florence Wealth"), acting in the capacity as agent of the Private Placement, an agent's cash fee in the amount of $9,600 (the "Agent Cash Commission") and to issue to Florence a total of 80,000 non-transferable commons share purchase warrants (the "Agent Warrants"). The Company has also agreed to pay certain eligible finders a finder's fee in cash (a "Finder Cash Commission") and to issue non-transferable common share purchase warrants ("Finder Warrants") to (i) Canaccord Genuity Corp. - $1,440 Finder Cash Commission and 12,000 Finder Warrants; (ii) PI Financial Corp. - $6,960 Finder Cash Commission and 58,000 Finder Warrants; and (iii) Florence Wealth - acting in the capacity as a finder - $24,336 Finder Cash Commission and 202,800 Finder Warrants. Each Agent Warrant and Finder Warrant shall entitle the agent or finder, as the case may be, to acquire one (1) additional Share at a price of $0.20 until October 26, 2025, being the date that is twenty-four (24) months from the date of issuance.

Closing of the Private Placement remains subject to final acceptance by the TSX Venture Exchange.

All securities to be issued in connection with the Private Placement will be subject to a statutory four-month hold period under applicable Canadian securities laws commencing on the closing date and expiring on February 27, 2024.

This news release does not constitute an offer to sell or a solicitation of an offer to buy any of the securities in the United States. The securities offered have not been and will not be registered under the United States Securities Act of 1933, as amended (the "U.S. Securities Act") or any state securities laws and may not be offered or sold within the United States or to, or for the account or benefit of, U.S. persons unless registered under the U.S. Securities Act and applicable state securities laws, unless an exemption from such registration is available.

Related Party Participation in the Private Placement

Certain insiders of the Company participated in the Private Placement acquiring an aggregate of 920,000 Units. Nathan Rotstein, Chief Executive Officer, President, and Director of the Company, purchased 400,000 Units; Luisa Moreno, Chief Operating Officer and Director, purchased 45,000 Units; Jay Richardson, Chief Financial Officer and Director, purchased 100,000 Units; Roger Dahn, Director, purchased 45,000 Units; and Gordan Jang, Director, indirectly subscribed for an aggregate of 330,000 Units. The participation by insiders in the Private Placement constitutes a "related party transaction" as defined under Multilateral Instrument 61-101 - Protection of Minority Security Holders in Special Transactions ("MI 61-101"). The Company is relying on the exemptions from the valuation and minority shareholder approval requirements of MI 61-101 contained in sections 5.5(a) and 5.7(1)(a) of MI 61-101, as neither the fair market value of the securities purchased by insiders, nor the consideration for the securities paid by such insiders, exceeded 25% of the Company's market capitalization. The Company did not file a material change report in respect of the related party transaction at least 21 days before the closing of the Private Placement, which the Company deems reasonable in the circumstances in order to complete the Private Placement in an expeditious manner.
